Raimunda Paula Peña Álvarez, professionally known as Paulina Álvarez, was a Cuban singer recognized for her performances of danzonetes, a style that combines traditional danzón with vocals. She rose to prominence in the 1930s as the genre’s foremost interpreter and was popularly referred to as La Emperatriz del Danzonete. Her most notable success was "Rompiendo la rutina," considered the first danzonete, composed by Aniceto Díaz in 1929. In 1960, she released her only full-length LP.
